Perfect Attendance Awards

Perfect Attendance Recognition

Continuity in the learning process and social adaptation is seriously disrupted by excessive absences. In most situations, the work missed cannot be made up adequately. Students who have good attendance generally achieve higher grades, enjoy school more, and are more employable after leaving school. We will be recognizing those students who have perfect (no absences, tardy, or early check out) with perfect attendance ribbons monthly and certificates for quarter and semester perfect attendance.

Perfect attendance means perfect attendance. We know sometimes kids miss due to illness or other situations they have no control over. We award perfect attendance certificates for those who have not missedany time during the month and are hopeful for understanding and parent support in explaining perfection.

Update phone numbers and addresses

Please help us stay up to date on all parent contact information. If you have a new address, new mobile phone, new babysitter, new contact information, etc - please contact our office to update contact info for your students. Thank you for your help with this!

As we try to increase awareness of Healthy Lifestyles we request that kid lunches are free from soda pop, candy, and other sugar rich foods. Instead try an 8 oz bottle of water, flavored water, milk, or juice for a beverage. Nuts, raisin, fresh fruit, crackers, granola, etc are a great snack instead of candy.
